My mom had a 1983(?) Chevy Caprice, and it was a standard family sedan with a powerful enough engine that it could be souped up into a sportscar with a little effort. My stepdad had one in the 60s that had the engine blueprinted that he used for drag racing.
It was a tough car, reasonably reliable and easy to maintain, if "slushy" in the suspension, with lousy gas mileage (fortunately Out Of Bounds is set when gas was still $1.50 a gallon). I'm betting it was probably the family car given to John (okay, sold to him for tiny amount) after he graduated. He's kept it running since.
